Boss, He’s Becoming A Father

My Thoughts on Boss, He’s Becoming A Father

"Boss, He’s Becoming A Father" is quite the unique web novel. I went in expecting one thing and got something completely different, but ultimately, I found it to be an engaging and thought-provoking read. It's a series of interconnected arcs, each focusing on our male protagonist as he transmigrates into different worlds with a mission: to raise his children (or sometimes adopted children) to be better versions of themselves.

First Impressions

The premise immediately grabbed me. A ruthless protagonist dedicated to childcare across multiple worlds? Sign me up! The concept of a character hopping from ancient China to a modern entertainment company to a xianxia world kept me guessing about what was coming next.

What Works Well

The core strength of this novel lies in its episodic nature. Each arc presents a fresh scenario and challenges the protagonist in new ways. I particularly enjoyed how he adapted his parenting style to each situation, sometimes using a soft approach, other times a more direct one. It was very interesting to see how he empowers the women in his life, ensuring they stand up for themselves and don't bow down to societal pressures.

The novel excels at delivering life lessons in a palatable way. The constant theme of self-reliance and breaking free from prejudice resonated with me. It's satisfying to watch the children grow and learn, eventually becoming independent and capable individuals.

Areas of Concern

While the episodic format is a strength, it also leads to a lack of an overarching plot. The focus shifts drastically between arcs, and sometimes the children themselves fade into the background, especially when the story focuses more on the protagonist's personal goals within a particular world. Also, while the romance is subtle, it is only present in one arc.

Final Verdict

Overall, I'd give "Boss, He’s Becoming A Father" a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars. It's a collection of quick, engaging reads that explore themes of family, self-reliance, and personal growth. While the lack of a central plot and inconsistent focus on the children might be drawbacks for some, the unique premise and satisfying character development make it a worthwhile read. If you're looking for a series of heartwarming and thought-provoking stories, this might be right up your alley.
